“The ‘Pearl Tack’ is a thumbtack made with imperfect pearls that are rejected during the inspection process for jewelry-grade pearls. Those imperfect pearls come in different sizes, colors, and shapes; each one has a totally different and unique character. Hoping that each one gets deserved attention, I came up with the idea of making them into thumbtacks for daily use. The custom package was inspired by the shell, which the pearls grew up in. All pearls are from Mie, Japan.”
